2022 Garden thread.

A few tomatoes, yellow squash and zucchini this year but I think a rabbit helped itself to our green beans. At least every time some would be on the bush they would disappear right before they were ready to pick. I replanted the squash and beans this week in homes of a better crop. The tomato plant is still producing but I need to trim it up some.

I think we got around a half inch of rain today. I'm wanting to plant some turnips, beets, collards but still a bit early down here.

Brought in 3 flats, 54 cups last weekend . Planted brussel sprouts, broccoli, cabbage and sugar daddy peas. Most every cup is growing and the sugar daddy peas are kicking tail. Probably 8 inches tall in less than a week. We'll see what happens in the coming weeks. I need to take the shade cloth off and put the plastic back on the greenhouse so we're prepared. We've got plans to direct sow more in time. Swiss chard, celery, carrots, beets and onions.

Our tomato plant seems to have kicked into high gear. Picked a few tiny mators the last few days but the rest finally seem to be growing bigger. The green beans and zucchini I planted a couple weeks back are growing fast but the yellow squash is not. I used some organic potting soil in those two planters and nothing has done well in them. Going to have to add more fertilizer this year and cut in manure next year.

2nd planting of zucchini, yellow squash and bush beans doing good. I should be picking some next week. Tomato plant looks to be on it;s last legs. I will not buy patio tomatoes again.

Picked our first green bean today. Planted them before but the rabbit got them. I replanted and used some 2 ft hardware cloth to put small fences inside the planters. Working beautifully.

My ass was chapped when filling out the animal inventory for them this year. They sent 2 as apparently my pokey ass didn't fill out the 1st one soon enough. My illusion of freedom is diminishing.

I might tell them how many animals I have, but I’m not disclosing anything else.
The appraisal district/tax office here in TX did a fly over to see if I had the cattle I claimed for my ag exemption. Evidently, some folks lie.
